Bill - I agree that wool DOES hold odors - but compared to my first gen patagonia pile pullover (it was terrible for odors - ) it's a major improvement! I almost got kicked out of a fast food place when I emerged, ripe from a week in the cold in a fleece that I'd had on the whole time.

As for the source of PP - much of it comes from recycled plastics - so it's probably as "friendly" as anything.

Wool does have a safety advantage over PP, however, when exposed to heat it won't burn easily NOR will it melt onto your skin (which hurts like a bugger - as I learned one night when my stove flared and a PP glove ignited).
